Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, October 30, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Feds cut rates, ICE arrests, statues returned and Erica Kirk with the vice president. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the second time this year, only a quarter of a point. Trump surely wanted much more from. Too late, pal. The president's called for as much as a 3 percentage point cut, not just a quarter of a point. A top White House advisor who joined the Fed last month was the one vote in favor of a half point rate cut. The next chance the Federal Reserve has to cut interest rates is in December. But Powell said a further reduction of the policy rate in December is not a foregone conclusion. In fact, far from it. When ICE conducted a raid at a marijuana farm in California back in July, remember this, where there were unaccompanied children there, an activist threw a large rock at a law enforcement vehicle as it was driving away. He has been arrested along with nine others involved. Activists against ICE in Chicago have become even more emboldened, using rocks and bottles as weapons, also professional grade fireworks. Homeland Security wrote Border Patrol agents conducted enforcement operations at 27th and Wiblaf. A large crowd of 75 to 100 rioters surrounded law enforcement who set up a perimeter after agents were boxed in by a large box truck. Rioters then shot at agents with commercial artillery shell fireworks. Law and order will triumph in Chicago. The Trump administration has restored a memorial to a Confederate general in Washington, D.C. that rioters took down in 2020 during the George Floyd riots. Albert Pike, a Confederate general and diplomat, later served in the Arkansas Supreme Court. It is the only outdoor statue of a Confederate leader in Washington, D.C. it's been there since 1901. The Washington, D.C. congresswoman who doesn't vote, she called the statue's restoration quote a morally objectionable move. Pike was a brigadier general, worked as a Confederate envoy to Native American tribes. He negotiated several treaties to ally the Indians with the Confederacy. The statue was proposed by freemasons. Pike was one until his death in 1891. Erica Kirk and J.D. vance held a Turning Point event at the University of Mississippi, Ole Miss. Erica said, being on campus for me is a spiritual reclaiming of territory. The more I come to grips with the permanency of this nightmare, the more I start to realize the enemy doesn't want you. He wants your territory. He wants your influence. I could hear Charlie say, go reclaim that territory. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith, the great Bill O'Reilly. Here's your message of the day next.

Americans have lost trust in the corporate media and now the question becomes is that forever? CBS News is being renovated like an old barn. The progressive journalists and management which held power there for years are being replaced by more moderate personnel. 60 Minutes in particular will be almost totally revamped. Another question is, will that bring more viewers to CBS News? Not likely. In my opinion. Younger Americans have almost completely walked away from television news as well as newspapers. The average age for cable news watchers around 70 years old. Hello, pharmaceutical ads. Have you ever seen people happier for having diabetes? They even have a special dance going on. Anyway, even if viewers do not flock back to CBS News and the others that may moderate from the far left, it is worth at least trying to report accurately on the news, right? Just for the sake of honesty. The founding fathers knew that Americans had to get some semblance of reality outside of the government because the government is always going to tell you what it wants you to hear. That was why journalists got protections from the First Amendment. Well, a lot of that has dissolved into partisan politics. Let's hope things get better. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoriele.com, billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. All right. The mailbag David on the message board if you're a concierge or premium member you get our message board. We make a lot of good friends there and back and forth. I think the civil war was probably going to happen no matter what President Buchanan did. Therefore, I award President Biden the worst ever. No, David, if James Buchanan had taken decisive action when he was first elected, okay, 1856, there wouldn't have been a civil war, but he was a coward and more than a million Americans died. No. Okay, Jim, concierge, remember, why should illegals have a fair hearing no matter how long they've been here? I disagree with your view, O'Reilly. Because we're a fair country, Jim. Right. Don't you want to be fair? Don't you want to have a fair country? So if you're two years old and your parents drag you here from Guatemala and you're not documented and then you're rounded up, you have to go back to Guatemala. That's not fair. So let's have a fair new law. I want America to be fair. Joan Field, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. I watch the noticeable news every night, thankful that you always present a clear message about what's happening in our country. I see a lot of things on social media concerning the health of President Trump. Can you address the issue? There is no issue. He went for an exam. What was it, a few days ago, Right. Last week. And he's fine. No issue. And if you're going to read anything on social media, you know, it's B.S. i know it could be entertaining, but it. Come on. There was an issue with President Trump's help. I would address it in a moment. Something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 194 years ago today, a runaway slave was captured in Southern Virginia. Weeks earlier, he started a brutal revolt. In fact, it may be the worst rebellion in U.S. history on an individual basis. Here is the story of Nat Turner. Born October 1800, Turner worked as a carpenter and preacher on a plantation in Southampton County, Virginia. Believing himself chosen by God, he became a pastor, then organized a violent rebellion among his congregation. In August 1830, one Nat Turner and 70 slaves attacked their masters. For three days, they rampaged through the countryside. The group went house to house, killing every white person regardless of age or gender. Turner hoped the attack would begin a national revolt, liberating all enslaved people in the United states. In total, 85 whites were slaughtered using stolen guns, machetes, field tools. Finally, the Virginia militia, consisting of 3,000 men, was dispatched to quell the rebellion. Turner and his followers were dispersed, captured or killed. In the aftermath, scores of black people were lynched. Most had nothing to do with with the uprising. Nat Turner was captured on October 30, 1831. He was hanged one week later. Turner's rebellion was the largest insurgency of enslaved people in North America. It led to a new wave of oppressive legislation prohibiting assembly and education of blacks in the usa. And here's something else you might not know. After his death, Nat Turna's body was sold as souvenirs. According to eyewitness accounts, the corpse was skinned, dissected and divided as trophies to be handed down as family heirlooms. Slavery was the darkest chapter in American history.
